sharing bb connection to more than one xp machine
 

Anyone doing this?

if so, what set-up are you using?

Re: sharing bb connection to more than one xp machine
 

Yes,

STB --> Wireless Router (Linksys WRT54G) ---> Laptop + PC

EDIT: Welcome to the forum but don't double post please.

Cable Modem----Belkin Router/switch-------WAP-------Laptop

Then the other 3 port on the switch to PC, PC and iMac.

And last, but not least, one of my PCs has 2 ethernet, so I'm bridging to another PC with that.

You can also use a wired/ normal router with cables where the wireless routers are in use in the examples above. It will depend on how far apart the computers are that you want to share the connection and whether you want to have cables that can look a bit of an eyesore.
How many computers are you wanting to share the connection with and where are they situated in the house?

yes I have done it with both Wired and wireless Linksys router

Cable Modem <> Linkysys WRT54g Router <> PC & Laptop

Re: sharing bb connection to more than one xp machine
 

DSL modem > NAT router > 5 port 10/100 switch > 3 computers

Actually, if it's direction of data they are showing, they should go both ways.

Don't think there's anything wrong there - you're only connecting one "device" to the STB ;)
